Are we still a go for your knighting ceremony on the 23rd James?

I contacted RQP last week to inquire about getting my spurs strapped, I did indeed order them without straps and didn't notice (since the straps are on another page than the spurs - thank you for mentioning that with Sir Nathan's spurs or I wouldn't have known until they got here). I am shooting for the 16th since I will be in NJ the 22nd for a birthday party and going straight to MD Renn Fest from there (getting up at 6am and driving 5 hours straight will likely leave me a bit haggered, if I can even make it up and out that early). I'm planning to bring the kids (our "semi-adopted nieces/nephew that call us mom & dad but aren't technically ours"), and I may have the nephew on hand and in soft kit for part of the ceremony as a standard-bearer. The 23rd is also "day of wrong" so I was planning to wear a non-medieval kit.

I wanted to get Allan to modify/replace my greaves from my kit so that they would fit to "finish off" my kit (I got my fancy metal shoes yesterday and a helm a few weeks ago), but that isn't an option now :( and a local armorer I contacted never responded to me for over a month now. I had no luck getting BJ (who did Sir Nathan's surcoat) to respond to me from 6 weeks ago, even with Sir Nathan prompting her, so I'm trying to find someone who could do a surcoat, and time is quickly ticking away with little success. :(

If the 16th isn't possible due to lack of spurs/unfinished kit the 23rd is my fallback date. I've got my ceremony about 90% written, just need to revise and review some of the little details and will post it for feedback and approval once I finish that. If things still aren't ready on the 23rd I'm not sure what to do from there; I'm crossing my fingers and hoping the 16th or 23rd pans out. I wish I had a definite answer. :(

Wow, hard to believe the season here is about over, and its been crazy. I noted that I travel quite a lot so the upside has been seeing fairs all over the US, buts its truly been a bit wearing.

I have mostly been at the PA Faire this year due to timing, I often get in sometime around 12 on Saturday from a flight so that leaves only Sunday for a Faire, I was in MD last weekend to see Barlyjuice and will return the 15th/16th I think. I miss my brothers is been very lonley at most Faires being the only Knight. I have had some interesting experiences though, including a special appearance at Midieval Times in CA after meeting the Director- it was interesting. Now where am I going to hide a horse on my wife.....

Sir Robert! Good to have you back! I do hope you can make MDRF the 16th as that will be the Knighting of Squire James!  :)

I am uncertain about this weekend...but my chances of making it are probably this weekend and the last weekend of the Faire.

Yes I should be making it for that, not too sure about Saturday as I am traveling back from Texas, but I should be there.

I will say that this season has been disappointing overall, too many old friends gone and not the crowds that I am used to. Its been a stange year for many, there has been a lot of loss in the PA area due to the flooding and the Hurrican did not help I would say.

I have had great opportunity to meet up with a great German Mercenary group in California, they adopted me fairly quickly, or felt very sorry for me in the heat. An awesome group that I will miss untill next year.

I am planning going to the Texas Faire at least once- assuming its going to open as it was consumed in the wildfires I am told. I also may finf my way to the winter faires in the south as well.

I have been introspective this year in my travels and will say that there has never been a time that needed knights more than now. People are becomming so uncivilized to each other and so disconnected in worshiping their electronic gadgets, they forget that people are more importaint than all the stuff.

To all of you I have missed you my brothers, its been a long trail this year.

I am planning a trip to CRG over Veterans Day Weekend to close out my Faire season, perhaps our paths will cross there. If not, I hope to see you one last time at PaRF.

Yeah, attendance has been down at MDRF this year so far too, due to the rain, hurricane, etc. But this coming weekend has a pretty clear weather report so far. If it holds up, I may want to do armor both days. We'll see how it goes.

I know Sundays usually work better for Sir Brian. Maybe I'll armor light on Saturday and fully kit up on Sunday.
